A Tibetan Mantra

Namaste, We are all aware that there are many many Mantras in Hinduism, I would like to share today a mantra from a Buddhist point which is very important for ones soul In Tibetan: pron. Om Mahni Peh-meh HoonG A small example of the above subject is mentioned below for the benefit of the mantra as a Story. Forgive her; she doesn't know what she's saying! There is a teaching story about an educated practitioner who was worried about his mother who was not too bright, was illiterate and knew nothing of the Buddha's teaching. He was worried that when she died, she would go to hell and suffer many lifetimes there, since she did not know how to

pray. He taught her that whenever she heard any kind of bell, she should immediately respond: Om Ma-Ni Peh-Meh Hoong! [Tibetan pronunciation]. They would make a kind of game of it; he would ring the bell at the door; she would say the mantra; they would laugh. He jingled a few coins; at that metallic sound, she said the mantra. They both got a kick out of it. It got so that even when he was not there, like when she heard the collar bells of yaks and dris, she automatically responded: Om Mani Pemeh Hoong! . Now it came to pass, that the good mother died. Due to her karma, she was whisked

away to one of the hot hells where she found herself in a huge iron cauldron being stirred by a terrible demon with a great metal spoon. But. Inevitably, the spoon struck the rim with a resounding CLANGGGG!!! The woman responded without even thinking, just as she had been taught: Om Mani Pemeh Hooong and zzzziiip -There she was - in the Pure Land of Dewachen, the heaven of Buddha Amitabha where eventually, like everyone there, she became one of the Enlightened Ones. Foxglove writing to the kagyu email list said that: [You] "can never say enough Om Mani Pedme Hungs. They all count towards practice even if [you were] not given a particular goal. My friend was given a million to do and has been

living alone in a house by the stupa in order to do so, but he's not talking of moving on after to a 'next' level. He says he will probably just do it all again. " ========================================================= : pron. Om Mahni Peh-meh HoonG I am enclosing a small sample of the same below. To make it short I am posting part one , please feel free to read the same in the next part Forgive her; she doesn't know what she's saying!

Dear Babitha

 

it was kind of posting the mantra

 

but i would like senior members of this group to correlate with

worshipping the divine mother

 

in essence the mani padme mantra is chanted keeping in the heart the

diamond or the precious essence

 

regards

vikram
